The kettle of his gift sang with some satire in its note, to his mind; and to change the subject he said, "Do you know of any good readable edition of the uncanonical books of the New Testament? You don't read them in the school I suppose?" "Oh dear no! 'twould alarm the neighbourhood... Yes, there is one.
Dusk was closing in, but lamps had not yet been lighted, when with a trembling, yet almost a bounding heart, Eustacie stole down the stone staircase, leading to a back-door an utterly uncanonical appendage to a nunnery, but one much used among the domestic establishment of Bellaise.
Senator Hanway's monkish brow went often puckered of a most uncanonical frown as he thought upon that sardonic Destiny which had thrust this Governor Obstinate forward to become a stumbling block in his way. In his angry contempt he could compare him to nothing save a grizzly bear. Whatever the justice of this last shaggy simile, even Senator Hanway could not deny its formidable side.
Even the higher ecclesiastical dignitaries woke up for a moment from their accustomed lethargy, remembered how they had lived for so many years under the rod of M. Pobedonostsef, recognised as uncanonical such subordination to a layman, and petitioned for the resurrection of the Patriarchate, which had been abolished by Peter the Great.
As poor Poussatin was in a very tattered condition, I had no time to provide him with a proper habit at Perpignan; but giving him a spare livery of one of the Marshal de Grammont's servants, I made him get up behind the prince's coach, who was like to die with laughing every time he looked at poor Poussatin's uncanonical mien in a yellow livery.
Caryll, all imperturbable, "lacking even the sense to read the directions which the book contains, and he has no thought for the circumstance that the time of day is uncanonical. Is more needed, madame?" "So much was not needed," said she, "though I am your debtor, sir." Her voice was marvelously steady, ice-cold with scorn, a royal anger increasing the glory of her eyes.
It is evident that Irenaeus would not for a moment think of classing any other Gospel by the side of the now strictly canonical four. Peter cognisant of the work of his follower. Neither is he quite consistent with himself; in one place he makes St. Clement draws a distinct line between the canonical and uncanonical Gospels. Tertullian is still more exclusive.
We had begun the long zig-zag slant down to the village. We swung gallantly round the sharp turn half-way down the hill. And there, not fifty yards away, was the Dean's inside car, labouring slowly, inevitably, up to meet us. Even in that stupefying moment I was aware that the silver-banded hat was at a most uncanonical angle.
The little Church, without temples, revenues or dignities, was even more distracted by internal disputes than the great Church, which retained possession of cathedrals, tithes and peerages. Altar was set up against altar. One phantom prelate pronounced the consecration of another phantom prelate uncanonical. At length the pastors were left absolutely without flocks.
